Re: Officially moving to Omaha

Thanks NativeOmahan! I'll be heading to Omaha from the DC area, so a bit of a change.  Is Old Market considered downtown, or are they two separate entities? I don't suspect I'll be getting a dog anytime soon - they cramp my traveling style. I'm also avoiding renting a home as I just sold a home and...

No doubt.

These West Omaha mega-churches don't open "satellite" church in poverty-stricken areas. They're going to try to expand where there are people and big money.

Satellite church. It's the trendy thing to do these days.

Re: Saddle Creek South CRA

That area is pretty well built out.  I suppose the east side of Saddle Creek on this stretch has a lot of empty buildings that could go away for something useful. If you sit in the Saddle Creek Taco John's (fine dining for me!) and look every direction, you'll see quite a bit of stuff that could/sh...

Re: Saddle Creek South CRA

Sorensen Pkwy - 56th - 60th

Hey All - I live up near Sorensen Parkway, and recently have noticed that they've cleared out hundreds of trees on the north side of the street, between 56th & 60th Streets. This is right across from that old shopping center where the Eagles Nest Church is now located. They've cleared all the tr...
